There are better versions of that case for less money. That one has no magnetic closure, nothing to keep it shut when you want it shut.

care to share some links ?

I would but it's one of the most common case designs and not hard to find on Amazon or eBay, think how much more fulfilling it would be if you discovered it for yourself.

if i could downvote you, i would.
you should be helpful to other members here on xda.

I would down vote to. How are you gonna tell someone there is something better but not tell what the name is or where to find it.

Thats very disappointing

I had it on both my nexus one and galaxy s vibrant, it was the best case ever.

totally agree. people who previously had barely there should try tough case, only a extra +$10 but totally worth it. made it feel so solid in the hand
Awesome! I can't wait!!
i cant wait
Seems to be available in the UK! the forum wont let me post a link though
But theres no way I am going to spend $50 for a case... hopefully they come out soon in the US for a more reasonable price
Are we talking about this case from case-mate?

I agree...a barely there case would be great but frankly I'm really wanting something better than my sh***y Platinum Case from BB. If this is available in the US soon for a reasonable price, I might break down and buy it.

Thats it! it looks like ALL the other Pop Cases... what did you expect? I think the pop case is pretty awesome, I have seen them on an Iphone 4 and it really looks great in person. I love the one piece design soft inside and the hard outer shell. Its like the Tough case, but one piece.

I would stay away from ROO cases. I had one for my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 white and it left two marks on the back of it, where it seemed to have rubbed the finish off.

I like this guy. Deadmau5 pic and demanding genuine leather! I'm hoping for a case from these guys: http://www.vajacases.com/ - Got one for my PlayBook last year and it's awesome.
Shame they got shipped and delivered to the UK first yet there are very few accessories released here yet. Will be a while until we have a genuine leather case with the 'smart' magnetic bit.
that case has been on sale for years. it's so ugly. Giant leather bondage strap holding down your nexus 7? ugly.
I picked up a leather smart case similar to this one at Big Lots for $8.00. High quality material ! They have lots of 7" case options there for a budget price......scrarch resistant screen protectors , stylus pens , bluetooth speakers etc....
BigLots. com serach the left hand side by ELECTRONICS to see their tablet stuff.
I say patience is a virtue. We all know the tablet for what it is. You either like it or you don't. Most of us have already pre--ordered and are waiting for them to arrive right now.
As far as the caes go, I'd rather feel what they're like in my hand. Via pictures of cases online, 10 look great for ipad and other devices, however only 1-2 actually feel and function as nice as they seem to be described and pictured online.(not cheap feeling, or feeling like they'l literally fall apart, lacking features cleverly not pictured, etc.

For me none of the cover/cases on Amazon (I was at the local Best Buy to take a look at 7" stuff) are aesthetically pleasing. I ordered a "padded pouch" off Etsy.com and I'm gonna get a sturdy "case" when one becomes available.

Wow, those Vaja cases look cool. Way too pricey though.
you lost me at vegan leather.

iPad like cases/covers

I, like most of you, am pretty underwhelmed at the quality of cases and covers available for the Nexus 7. Everything I've seen looks extremely bulking and makes the device look terrible. Does anyone know of any case that doesn't make the device look terrible. I just want something that has the smart unlock feature and that can fold to make a stand. The official case from google does none of those and I'm very disappointed in them. Though, I guess it was a lawsuit waiting to happen with Apple I guess

I love the idea, and Isaiah seems like a good guy that I'd like to support. My only worry is wear on the stress points of the material that's being used to cover the panels. Will it split or wear holes through where it flexes or supports weight?

They look good, but they look like $25 cases, but they seem to sell for $60. If this is a lot cheaper, I'd go for it.

This seems to be the one I'm going to get. It's $20 now, but says it is regularly $40. I'd like to see some reviews first but it seems it will work well. I wonder if the price will stay $20 or shoot up?

Normally prices on Amazon do not change after the cover is released. I did notice that the slim fit cover for moko changed by a few dollars after launch but nothing drastic. That could have also been because they did 2 recalls on it It is however a risk you take.
As for me I am waiting for some reviews.

For those of you who don't like cases but are worried about traveling with your N7...

I picked this travel case up at Target for about 12$... fits everything nicely.

That looks pretty slick for a travel case.:good:
I like it might have to go buy one, do you happen to know the name of it.

Its actually not even in the electrinics department of target. Its in the camping supply area next to the travel stuff. Its labeled as an e-reader case and has a cardboard sleeve around it. I'm pretty sure the brand was Embark
Thanks.. I am going to go look tomorrow.. I had a feeling it would be an a area I wouldn't know about.lol
Good find. I may grab one of these.

Just an FYI, I had a similar case for my old Archos PMP. The elastic band wore away the finish on the PMP's frame after a bit of taking it out and putting it back in. I imagine that, if you're careful, it won't be a problem. And one advantage to plastic over metal is that there's no paint to abrade.
Thanks exactly what i was looking for!
That's the right one in the website posted but it says $16 online. It was definitely only $12 or $12.99 in store.

[Case] Recommendations?

Hi All,
I recently purchased a Nexus 7 case that I was extremely un-impressed by. The seller completely lied about everything on the case, it was a totally different colour, layout etc (BASICALLY A DIFFERENT CASE THAN PURCHASED)
I have had a re-fund but its not about the money, I love my N7 and think it is a smart device, (looking wise) haha.
I was wondering if anyone can recommend me a case?
I want:
A nice looking case that doesn't ruin the N7.
It has to be comfortable to hold and not add to much bulk to the N7.
Obviously has to be protective, but has to feel nice.
Would like one with a Sleep/Wake function (Unless someone recommends a nice pouch rather than case, as I don't take it out much so a pouch could be sufficiant)
Finally, I would like if possible, it to be able to be used a stand.
IT DOES NOT HAVE TO COVER ALL OF THESE AREAS!
Thanks in advanced people !!
Do some work yourself, read the forum here and check out the reviews.
I have done you pleb.
Ha Ha Pleb love that word.

Thanks for the recommendation, and im also glad you know the meaning of "Recommend" as the above poster clearly doesnt have the knowledge base.
I may purchase one of those, they look sleek and professional in my eyes, does it feel like its protective?
Wow, I really !! REALLY !! Like that case !

If I want to ask for peoples recommendations, I'm entirely entitled to do so, it has nothing to do with you and if you don't have the intellect to recommend a case you have purchased then don't waste your childish time posting here?
You clearly have nothing to useful to say and never had looking at your profile, so why don't you just stay clear of these forums altogether? No loss to anyone then
As I've said a lot, I recommend this case!
